It's the 800-pound gorilla in American life that most Americans don't think about: how do income, family background, education, attitudes, aspirations and even appearance mark someone as a member of a particular social class?

Class can be harder to spot than racial or ethnic differences, yet in many ways, it's the most important predictor of what kind of financial and educational opportunities someone will have in life.

People Like Us is the classic film that has spawned thousands of conversations about class in America.

Please join us for the film People like Us - Social Class in America, facilitated by Barbara Thompson on Thursday, March 9, 2017, 9:00 AM - Noon at the UCF Cocoa Campus, Building 3 Room 255.

All faculty, staff and students are invited to attend.

Please RSVP by Monday, March 6, 2017 by calling (321) 433-7889.

Faculty and staff also need to register for the events through their myUCF portal.
